Heart Failure Research Department
Prof. Maria Sitnikova, MD, DScHeart Failure Research Department was established in 2001, initially as a research laboratory to study the pathogenetic mechanisms and search for new approaches to the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). In 2009, it was transformed into research department.
The Research Department comprises:
- Heart Failure Research Laboratory
- Research Laboratory of High-Tech Methods
Newly developed and implemented technologies
- «Differential diagnosis of dyspnea development mechanism»
Authors: M. Sitnikova, T. Lelyavina, A. Berezina, A. Kozlenok
- «Optimal tactics for the treatment of elderly CHF patients by their survival assessment»
Authors: M. Sitnikova, T. Lelyavina
State Assignments
- «Development of a new approach to assess the course and prognosis in CHF patients during heart transplantation based on the analysis of microparticles and free-circulating DNA» (P.A. Fedotov)
- «Analysis of laboratory big data using artificial intelligence to increase the informative value of the examination and optimize costs in assessing the prognosis of complications in cardiovascular disease» (T.V. Vavilova)
Grants
- Grant 2020 075-15-2020-800 «Development of new neuromodulation-based technologies for heart failure prevention and treatment» (M.M. Galagudza)
Training and education
As part of the All-Russian workshops on Cardiology and the National Healthcare Project, the specialists of the Department are implementing an extensive educational programme for doctors of the Northwestern Federal District. All practitioners have an opportunity to discuss the modern strategies and tactics for heart failure treatment, to get updated on the current rules in organizing high-tech medical care and heart transplantation, treatment methods for CHF patients and management tactics.
Maria Sitnikova is the initiator and head of the regular St. Petersburg training «Topical issues of strategy and tactics for CHF treatment», lecturer and moderator of Heart Failure training sessions held under the guidance of the Russian Society of Cardiology, Society of Heart Failure Specialists, Russian non- governmental organization for hypertension management and prevention Antihypertensive League.
Tatyana Lelyavina is the supervisor of the educational cycle «Cardiopulmonary testing in cardiology», lecturer and moderator of Heart Failure training sessions held under the guidance of the Russian Society of Cardiology, Society of Heart Failure Specialists.
Petr Fedotov is the supervisor of the educational cycle «Topical issues of heart transplantation for CHF patients», lecturer and moderator of Heart Failure training sessions held under the guidance of the Russian Society of Cardiology, Society of Heart Failure Specialists.
